Chapter 208 I See Through You
After finishing her long magical training, Ruibu Si returned and collapsed onto Ya Ya's bed. Before she could reach for Ya Ya or Fu Fu, Ya Ya kicked her off.
"Don't get into my bed if you haven't showered."
"Ah~" she groaned twice, "I can't get up, it hurts so much~"
She hadn't practiced magic like this for a very long time—involuntarily, no less.
Sitting on the floor leaning against the bed, with her head resting on the bed, Ya Ya moved her body to the side in disgust: "Can't you go back to your own bed?"
"I haven't showered, I don't want to lie down."
Yaya:......
She found a piece of clothing that she would never wear again and placed it under Ruibusi's head. The old clothes brought back memories for her: "I bought this piece of clothing the year before last. I was planning to go on a trip, but the plan was canceled, and I don't really like the clothes anymore."
Strong desire to buy, low need to go out. On campus, all you wear is your school uniform and pajamas, so the clothes you buy are practically useless.
There is now.
Rui Bu Si then suggested, "How about we go on vacation this semester?"
"Aren't you going on dates?"
“Hmm,” she said, tilting her head back and winking at Ya Ya, “we don’t need to go on a date during the holidays, and in the short term… Oh! I don’t want to hear Miya Xing’s voice at all.”
"Being dragged around practicing magic?"
"how do you know?"
“The training time for the cute knights,” he said, patting the duck’s head. “You haven’t had any classes lately and you’re not in the dorm. You’re exhausted like this. Unless Director Pa needs to talk to you about something.”
That's even more terrifying than the Mysterious Star.
"It's really rare that our little radish has become so diligent in his magic practice after falling in love."
Looking back, Ya Ya was shocked to realize that their dormitory hadn't made any noises late at night for a long time.
Little Carrot stopped actively striking the wooden fish, Magnolia Flower stopped drumming all day, and even Baris gradually formed a situation of not bothering Barbie, Meow Meow, and Katie.
"I used to practice magic very diligently, okay?"
"That was almost in the last century."
This is great! I'm in a good mood, and I'll open a bag of duck snacks for Duck. These days, neither too noisy nor too quiet, are making her...
The dormitory door was slammed open with a loud bang.
Barry walked in, looking distraught, wearing her ugly fashion piece.
"Do you know what? That witch Kiki, she's actually 273 years old! 273! 273, you know?"
How could a normal human being possibly live to be over two hundred years old?!
"Oh."
"Ah."
"Why are you two so calm? That's over two hundred years old!"
"Don't stories always say that witches can live for a very long time? Thousands of years or something?"
"That's a made-up story! How could any human really live that long and be so young?" She glared angrily at Ya Ya, realizing that these two were utterly useless except for making her angry, and immediately lost the desire to share this major discovery.
Although the most crucial part was already shared at the beginning.
"Living to over two hundred years old doesn't seem to have any impact." Ruibusi stood up and stretched, deciding to take a shower before she completely relaxed. "The age limit for teachers at Meng Academy isn't strict."
Just as she had resolved not to say another word until the only person in the dorm who would agree with her returned, Barris heard the voice and immediately retorted in dissatisfaction:
"This has absolutely nothing to do with strict age restrictions for teachers, you know? A human over two hundred years old lies and claims to be only eighteen, and has such a young face, don't you think Teacher Kiki is insidious?!"
She received two shaking heads.
"So, Barris, are you still going to Kiki the witch's class?" As an ordinary student with weak magical offensive capabilities and little enthusiasm for practicing magic, Ya Ya always consciously stayed away from all dangers.
Never approach a situation with intense curiosity or an adventurous spirit that is disproportionate to one's abilities.
"Of course I want to!" He gripped the magic item tightly. If it weren't for the shock he felt about Kiki's real age, he wouldn't have been wearing this magic item around campus, trying to guess other students' ages and being ridiculed by many. "I'm determined to find out her true colors!"
Seeing this, Ya Ya stopped trying to persuade someone who was impossible to convince.
It's just...
Reflected in her eyes was the image of Barry wearing a mask that said "I'll see right through you," scrutinizing people carefully. She tried again and again to suppress the corners of her mouth—but when she couldn't, she lowered her head and pretended to be carefully observing the duck's feathers.
"Hey, why are you suddenly looking down and shaking? Are you laughing at me too?"
"N-no... I'm just... um, I'm so happy... um, happy that Duck Duck's diet has finally paid off, I'm so... so moved... I can't help but want to, pfft... cry."
Her already irritable mood was further fueled by this, and just as Barris was about to confront her, Ruibusi happened to pass by with a change of clothes. Her instincts, honed by the day's events, made her turn her head to follow the person walking by, and the numbers in her magical artifact jumped up and down.
what happened?
I don't think this has ever happened before.
She blinked, just in case it was a hallucination from looking around all day, but she could only vaguely see the shadows of a few question marks. The phrase "I'm watching you secretly" was taken down.
Barris was startled. The sudden surge of terror made her think that she couldn't escape even if she tried to run away.
Realizing that the person standing in front of her was her familiar roommate, not some terrorist, she rubbed her arms and snatched back the "I See You Through" book that Rui Bu Si was looking down at.
"W-What are you doing? You can't just touch other people's things, you know?"
His voice trembled and sounded weak.
Standing up from the chair, finally free from the feeling of being looked down upon, Barris felt perfectly fine except for her weak legs.
Damn it, it's all that witch Kiki's fault, she's making her delirious now.
No, this magical artifact seems to have a problem. She needs to check with a few more people to confirm it.
Ruipusi watched Barris leave and asked, "Are you leaving already?"
"The cute queen can go wherever she wants! It's none of your business!"
Ya Ya followed Rui Bu Si's gaze and tilted her head in sync with the duck she was holding: "Baris seems to have been suddenly startled by something."
He seemed to be putting on a brave front, almost as if he didn't know what he was saying.
"I don't know, maybe they've thought of some terrifying aspects of the witch Kiki again and are eager to verify it."
Indeed, Barris's thoughts are never easy to guess; they change quickly and she likes to do things on a whim. Ya Ya shook her head, stopped thinking about it, and stuffed a biscuit into her mouth... It tasted awful!
These aren't cookies at all; they're the snacks she was holding to feed the ducks!
After watching her dazed state, Rui Bu Si yawned as if nothing had happened when the other looked over at her: "Practicing magic is really tiring."
"Love-obsessed, serves him right."
"When you're in love, of course you'll be love-struck~ Sigh, single people just can't understand."
Ya Ya casually tossed the duck in her arms away: "Duck, bite her!"
The complete lack of understanding between humans and ducks is on full display at this moment.
Before the duck could react, Ruibusi dodged to the side. If it hadn't flapped its wings fast enough, it would have been doomed to fall to the ground.
It cackled innocently twice, thinking its owner was playing with it. Its little eyes stared straight at its owner, indicating that it didn't like playing and only liked being held.
Yaya:......
There's absolutely no hope for this duck.
……
"This is normal, this is normal too."
Ignoring her classmates' whispers and their open and covert stares and mockery, Barris held up the sign that read "I can see right through you" and stared at everyone she caught.
"Yes, everything is normal." The user manual didn't mention that question marks would appear.
Is it...
"This thing...it can see unknown creatures..." A ghost?!
He looked around fearfully, then looked at the thing in his hand again, his hands trembling as he hesitated to use it.
No!
How can we possibly expose Kiki's true colors like this? The results must be convincing enough for everyone to believe her!
"Maybe it was just an accident, an accident."
Perhaps she was too tired at night and didn't see anything clearly.
"It's all that Rui Bu Si's fault! If she hadn't suddenly stood in front of me blocking my view and then suddenly taken my things, how could I not have seen clearly?!"
She should have examined it more carefully after she got it back; otherwise, there would be no need to go around asking people to look at it now...
Having successfully convinced herself with her reasoning, she was about to return to her dormitory when, through the latticework of the partition wall, she vaguely saw another person passing by.
A strange face wandering around campus late at night instead of returning to the dormitory – suspicious!
He casually picked up the magical artifact to observe it; the values on it fluctuated and changed, eventually stabilizing...
No, it's not stable!
"Why is he jumping around again?"
strange?
Huh? The values that just jumped around didn't seem to be random; they seemed to be switching back and forth between two numbers.
She lowered her head, rubbed her eyes, and put them back on, but the person she was observing had disappeared without her noticing.
Never mind, let's talk about it tomorrow.
As she turned around, a shadow enveloped her.
What are the children looking at?
